Polo (Stephanie Yanez, Nirf) is now performing live guitar with NVR-NDR. Yay! He rules. So. Hard. I'm working on a cover of July 1st (A Eurobeat remix) by Ayumi Hamasaki as a collaboration with Polo and Stephanie. This is it so far:
Bjorn, AKA Ono-Sendai, has moved back to Los Angeles and will be DJ'ing live for NVR-NDR as well as working on other visual effects.
EXTREME HYPER IMPACT will be released for free download in December 2010, and in other forms shortly thereafter. It's a 20 minute live NVR-NDR album featuring live guitar by Polo and cover art by David Pursley (Starcraft, Diablo) and Oscar Guzman (Masters of Orion). Also included with the release will be several remixes by Sheldon James, Tetsujin, Personal Relations and [tlr].
I am currently booking a West Coast tour with Bubblegum Octopus and Monomate from January 6th to January 15th. If you think you can help with booking or promotion please contact me.
As you can see, the art is looking great! David brought his friend Oscar Guzman on to color the artwork. Oscar has worked on a number of classic games as well, including Masters of Orion. Should be done soon! I can't wait.
So much going on! I am working on some NVR-NDR covers of anime and J-pop tunes for us to hopefully perform at the LA 2010 Anime Expo Battle of the Bands. We will be auditioning for that soon. Check out this new demo:
NVR-NDR's trusty long distance guitar master, the Illuminist, will be interviewed live Saturday, April 10th @ 3:30 EST, 2:30 CST, on Chillin With Jeff and Kenny C. The show can be streamed online here. He will be talking about his upcoming album and working over the internet with NVR-NDR!
Meanwhile, the lovely Dj Ono-Sendai (Bjorn Littlefield-Palmer, a.k.a. KAWAIIETLY PLEASE) is preparing for the NVR-NDR show in Second Life, due for the end of May. Should be completely amazing.
I also started a new music download blog, where I am posting free and legal downloads of fantasy metal, happy hardcore, chiptune, and other music that sparks my interest. Follow with google or subscribe to the RSS feed for a steady supply of epic and magical tunes!
